Ten Thousand Miles Away

Ifeanyi Onyekaba was fifteen-year-old when he all by himself in 2009 migrated to the United States, ten thousand miles away from his hometown in Nigeria. “I consider myself a fighter since the day I was born,” says the boxer as he, ten years later, begins to tell the story of this life, in the following video. It was filmed by Nickantony Quach in their first encounter at India Point Park in Providence, Rhode Island.
